STOMACH SPASMS...HELP!!

Hi Everyone...I have been having stomach spasms that are extremely painful. It first started with the stomach flu, then it would do it when I would take a stomach sensitive medicine such as erythromycin, etc., and now out of the blue I am having bad spasms. I don't think it is the stomach flu again, because I don't feel horrible. I just hurt!! I have tried taking Tums, Peptobismol, and Mylanta, and no relief. Does anyone know what causes this or could possibly cause this? It feels as though someone is holding my actual stomach organ and squeezing it and then releasing it, and repeats the process.
Any advise is appreciated!!!
Thanks.

Hi Wren, and thank you for replying so quickly. The only thing that I have eaten that was not in my normal diet was a really small piece of shortbread cookie...maybe three bites at the most. I don't have a fever and I don't feel like I am going to vomit like all of the other times (ie..stomach flu)..I think I am just scared that I will and then have all of the really bad pain. Right now the spasms are acting mild, but I know that once the vomiting occurs, they get so bad that I am usually crawling on the floor in pain. Two months ago, I had the stomach flu and the couldn't take the pain anymore and the ER prescribed me hyoscyamine..I still have some left and thought about taking one. I always thought I had an ulcer, but I wasn't sure if it would cause symptoms like this.
I think this time is just different than the rest, because I actually don't feel "flu-like". It is just spasming.
I will have to try the vinegar. Anything to prevent the vomiting. (I am the biggest baby when it comes to vomitting. LOL. My kids hold up better than I do :)
Thank you for your advise!! I hope it helps.
Sincerely,
Jamie R.
